Ganesha Producciones becomes one of the latest rental and production company’s in Mexico to invest in Robe Spiider LED wash beams, delivered by distributor SHOWCO; much-anticipated by owner Gerardo Hernández and his team.
Founded in 1996 by Gerardo and is based in central Mexico City, the company are involved in technical production for many prestigious cultural events including government organised and sponsored shows and expositions, and also supply lighting, video and sound to corporates, music concerts and other shows. The company also has an architectural lighting division.
Hernández has always been impressed with Robe and their products and he’s seen the brand steadily grow and gain traction in Mexico. When SHOWCO became the distributor early in 2017, the time was right for him to invest in Robe moving lights.
“The Spiiders really is the next generation of LED wash moving light. The intensity is fantastic, it can be a wash or a beam light, the central LED is a fresh and interesting effect and the ring control and individually mappable LEDs add even more options. So that gives it a lot more value than a fixture that does just 1 thing!”
The 24 new Robe Ganesha Spiiders went straight to work on several cultural shows and concerts where they have immediately been impressing their clients and crews alike. They lit a production for the famous Ballet Folklórico de México, an acclaimed Mexican folkloric ballet ensemble based in Mexico City, where they provided elegant and rich stage coverage, and by complete contrast, they shone through at a concert by reggaeton star, J Balvin.
Hernández said Ganesha is still trying to reach new and untapped markets, and they feel having a brand like Robe on-board is a key tool to being able to generate more business. With this in mind, they organised a big event in their showroom to demonstrate the Robe Spiiders, which was attended by other rental companies: “I am more than happy to engage in cross rental business,” he commented.
They invited a lot of producers, lighting, visual and scenic designers, venue operators and others to show off the new lights. “It’s generated a lot of interest and we definitely expect some direct results,” he reported.
Pleased with the Robe Spiiders and the scope and breadth of the current range of Robe products, Hernández already has his eyes on the brand new MegaPointe – but they are planning to go a lot further than that he stated that they intend to change their entire current rental stock to Robe!
“I like the brightness, the quality of the light, the colours and the smooth mixing, the small size of the fixture and of course the reliability. I like all of it!”
